Reporting Criteria
Influenza-associated pediatric mortality cases are reportable within one
working day.
All influenza-associated
pediatric mortality cases should be reported to the local health department or
health service region.
Several Texas laws (Tex. Health & Safety Code,
Chapters 81, 84 and 87) require specific information regarding notifiable
conditions be provided to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS).
Health care providers, hospitals, laboratories, schools, and others are
required to report patients who are suspected of having a notifiable condition (25 Tex. Admin. Code §97.2 ).
